This text deals with Chinese art during the Tang Dynasty, from 618
to 907. It presents the artistic findings from the last ten years
of archaeological excavation in China-findings that have never
before been published in the West. Court Art of the Tang reveals
the magnificence of Tang art through the presentation of ceramics,
wall paintings, and utensils made of gold, silver, bronze, and
porcelain. The book aims to place these new materials in their
artistic and historical context. It structures the new findings in
chronological order, using culture and history as a background. The
study treats each class of art separately and distinctly, exploring
the aesthetic evolution of both secular and religious art. Relevant
literary expressions incorporated into the discussions make Court
Art of the Tang an especially unique work. The book gives readers a
comprehensive and diverse look at the glorious and extraordinary
achievements of a ruling family. The book consists of 233 pages of
text, a bibliography and an index, a glossary, and 117
illustrations. Court Art of the Tang will provide insightful
reading for art collectors and museum-goers and serve as an
important text in Asian Studies Departments and in courses in the
arts of China.Contents: List of Illustrations; Preface;
Ackowledgements; Introduction; Early Tang 618-712; Middle Tang
712-805; Late Tang 805-907; Conclusion; Illustrations; Glossary;
Bibliography; Index.
